This Starting Well project responds to the mental health and wellbeing needs of pregnant women and new mums from the Muslim community of Peterborough.
Funded by the Department of Health and Social Care Starting Well Fund, it is using person-centred service design
tools to co-design and, subsequently, deliver a new community-based perinatal service that has been designed with Muslim mums for Muslim mums.
This project is a two-year collaboration between Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire (CPSL) Mind, The Lantern Initiative and other local community partners who work within Peterborough’s Muslim communities.
This insight report describes the findings from the ‘Explore’ stage of the service design methodology, during which our eight Peer Designers undertook in-depth ethnographic interviews to hear the individual stories from 24 Muslim mums; what’s important to them and what impacts on their wellbeing.
